about
A little ditty about what a drag the city of Chicago can be, but also about how that's kind of a matter of interpretation and maybe you're just being a jagbag. Has a cool outro, too.
lyrics
Skull & Roses and a Terrapin Station sticker
Peeling off the back-end of a Chrysler Town & Country
We saw blowin’ through a stoplight in the middle
Of a North Chicago suburb in the middle of
another bummer of an afternoon.
Had to say that I was up to something.
You heard me sounding bitter ‘round a hotel
In a far-off state.
Suppose it’s time we had a conversation—
Not the type I’ve learned to kind of like in hindsight,
But the type I’ve learned over time to hate to say I hate.
Like I hate to say I hate the way this city smells
In the summertime come late July.
It’s tar; the L-Track’s spark. It’s the dog shit in the park.
It’s the sludge dripping down into my parking spot.
I could really use a word or two
That’d wash away the doubt.
I could really use a story we could both cry tears about.
I could really use some rain, but I can’t spot a single cloud.
So there’s nothing I can do about it now.
By a weirdo statue with a teal patina
[but not the kind you’d ever wanna pay for]
Something took me down unexpectedly.
A subtle pounding by my eyelid.
Subtle, then resounding in the center of my forehead.
And the pound became a knock, and the knock politely said:
Man, I hate the way you hate
the way this city sells itself to passersby come late July.
Streets all blocked off by the field
Where the masses have congealed.
Looking like blue jay flocks ‘round beer gardens.
It’s easy to play crank when you’re the one not having fun.
And every weekend brings a range
of mange and anger ‘till it’s done.
Find an awning, wait it out.
Pray no lightning from the clouds.
But ain’t there something you can do about it now?

Gary Louris sings the second chorus. Listen to his band The Jayhawks! And the Golden Smog records, too! And his solo stuff! Gary rules!
Franz Nicolay's on the harmonica. Peter Hess on the winds. Justin Mullens on the horns.
A new track from Pretty Matty finds the band in top form, delivering clean yet crunchy hook-laden power pop with trademark high energy. Bandcamp New & Notable Sep 25, 2020
